Suffering is a normal part of the human experience. It can drive personal growth, inspire novel ideas, incite solutions, fuel creativity, and—in problematic situations—precipitate change.

The act of suffering can often strengthen us and contribute to a sense of meaning and purpose. Sometimes, however, suffering does not serve any practical cause. To the contrary, mental and emotional suffering can have the opposite effect, often hindering one from pursuing his or her goals and dreams or from achieving a sense of vibrancy.

Mental and emotional suffering can be complex, and subtle in effect—dampening the senses, tempering joy, fueling self-sabotage, and limiting success within personal relationships and professional pursuits. This lurking impact can often manifest as stagnation, keeping individuals from leading a life of vibrancy or from realizing full potential. Most tragic of all, perhaps, is that some of the most profound suffering is often experienced alone, even within the most highly populated cities.

He is meticulous with his use of medications and works carefully to try to help his patients unlock underlying patterns that may perpetuate a sense of stagnation.
